She is a paradox. She is faithful and yet detached. She is committed and yet relaxed. She loves e v e r y o n e, and yet no one. She is sociable but also a loner. She is gentle and yet tough. She is passionate but can also be platonic. In short, she is predictable in her unpredictability
“wait wait wait - ” she whined trying to force her little legs to keep up as the other seemed to move farther and farther away. with each step forward she took it seemed like the wind was hell bent on pushing her backwards. “ can you at least hold my hand so i don’t get blown away ! ” by this point frustration was written all over her face and every part of her wanted to sit down in protest but instead she asked, “ where are we even going ? ”
“A bear?” She asked with a somewhat confused expression, having no idea what the asset was talking about. "Would you want to be the first to see what happens if/when you get something past security?“ If Sloan was an asset she would most definitely not want to upset the system, but still she couldn’t help but feel bad for the asset who obviously had something of significance she wanted back. "Your best bet, love, find yourself a master or mistress, whatever your deal is, and show them how APPRECIATIVE you can be, and then when they want to give you a little reward…well then, CASUALLY slipping whatever that bear is into the conversation wouldn’t hurt would it? If they were smart enough they’d put the pieces together and voila, reunited.”
“ y-yeah of course. ” she stammered her face burning slightly from embarrassment, wondering why she hadn’t thought of that idea before her brain quickly followed up with because i want him NOW not when someone decides i deserve him back. gulping she twirled a strand of hair around her fingers, “ i um, i should probably get out of your hair. ‘m sure you have other things to do. ”
“I tend to assume everyone is from America–default, knee-jerk reaction, I guess you could say,” Alex managed with a slight shrug, sizing the young woman up. She’d lived a rather cultured life herself, hadn’t she? He tried to imagine what that had been like, moving from country to country–but no, no. He grew up in poverty in New York. He wouldn’t have known international waters.
“What do you call home, then?”
chuckling quietly bubs shrugged, “ that seems to be the thing about most americans, my mom used to call it um - überlegenheit it’s sort of like, you think the world revolves around you. ” if there was one thing she’d learned in her time in america it was that they had lots of strong opinions and a lot of them stemmed from where you were born. while the question he’d asked seemed like such an easy one her brow furrowed and she was silent for a long time before speaking again. “ i don’t think i call anywhere home. i’ve never lived somewhere for longer than two years, it’s kind of hard to lay claim to a place that you know you’re going to have to leave eventually. ”
Ariel’s plan while here was to, for the most part, keep to herself and make a point not to cause too much trouble. She also wasn’t chomping at the bit to entertain any masters or mistresses, though she wouldn’t make a fuss if that’s where she was headed. The woman also didn’t mind giving up her belongings, especially since she didn’t have much to begin with. Hearing the other woman’s words, Ariel’s focus shifted to her, “I’m sure you could manage it when they’re not looking. I could give you a hand, that way if we’re caught, it’ll lessen the load of whatever they’d do.”
“ yeah ? ” she asked, with a tilt of the head a bit surprised that the girl would offer to help her without cause. “ i’ve been watching them for most of the day and they usually leave for about five minutes every hour. i think they keep all out stuff in that room - ” pointing towards the direction of the guard’s lounge. “ that should be happening soon. ”
ava was currently in her cabin, still taking in the island and all it had to offer. luckily almost as soon as she had arrived, she had a suggested asset. one that she thought was just breathtakingly beautiful. ava was eager to learn more about her. her background and why she’d ended up on the island, so she decided to take her back to her cabin just for the two of them to get to know one another a little better. she had quickly discovered that there was something special about her. she was by far one of the most adorable human beings ava was sure she’s ever met. before coming to eros, she had agreed to a few assignments that she knew she needed to finish up before she could truly enjoy herself, so not long after they’d had a little chat she explained the work she had to do and allowed bubbles to make herself comfortable, though when she heard the younger woman speak, ava looked up from her laptop, a small smile played on her lips. “sneaking it back won’t be necessary, honey. i’m sure if i ask for it i could get it back for you.” she answered.
“ oh yeah. ” she started the words leaving her mouth almost in a humm, truthfully bubbles had forgotten that she had the option to just ask for him back. “ i forgot i could ask you to do that, well um, thank you. ” flashing her perfect smile she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she sat quietly on the couch trying hard not to feel like a toddler with endless amounts of energy but nothing to spend it on. “ paddy was the bear my mom gave to me when we first moved to germany and y-yeah he’s just sort of always kept me company. it’s weird to do this without him. ” shrugging she picked up a magazine from the coffee table mindlessly flipping through the pages hoping that ava would be done soon.
“Otherwise not bad?” he asked with a quirk of his brow. The Corsicans were a relentless pain in his ass, he could only imagine how pretentious the French were on their own land. “You’re an American though? And they didn’t smite you from their land?”
“ you think i’m american ? ” she couldn’t help but to giggle at the thought, by birth she was american but spending twenty plus years of your life in another country will definitely got rid of any loyalty she may have felt to the country. when she spoke again she sounded almost exactly like her mother, a thick german accent she worked very hard to cover up for the most part coming from her lips, “ i was actually raised in berlin but my mother and i have lived in germany, france, the netherlands and after she was arrested i spent a bit of time in america. ”
Yet another day of work ahead of him which meant that he had to wear a stone cold face and keep his walls up at all costs. As he looked around at people, he heard someone talk to him and he turned around to look at the younger girl. “Maybe you shouldn’t ask a guard if you can sneak a teddy bear in” he told her and then shrugged. “But go ahead and try, there is no harm in doing that”
“ oh. ” the words fell from her lips like a brick hitting the floor, her face twisted into an awkward position as she tried to back her way out of her statement. “ well i wasn’t going to s-sneak him per se - i was just you know, shooting the breeze, asking a question to the universe and they have definitely answered. ” smiling softly she shrugged taking a few steps back.
Graceful? Perhaps it was the first thing you might think of when thinking about models, but she didn’t believe it was exactly that SIMPLE. There was something very sweet and unique about the young female. The blonde’s eyebrows arched in clear curiosity, the girl already had some experience then. And it would definitely make it a little easier. While Diana probably shouldn’t be surprised about finding another artistic soul on the island, she was pretty excited about that. She missed spending more time with art, and she was eager to try get back all that time she had lost. “Oh, that’s just a SHAME. Art has always been a source of passion and happiness to me, I couldn’t imagine being kept away from that. I’d love to see what I could do with your beauty, but you’re also very WELCOME to borrow some of my supplies. It’d be my PLEASURE.“
there was something about the older woman that made her feel CONFIDENT. perhaps it was the way she said things as though they were a fact and you had no choice but to believe her, she couldn’t help but to ADMIRE her. she was sure that her bliss was written all over her face as soon as the mistress offered her art supplies, “ really ? oh wow, that’d be AMAZING ! ” she hummed softly swaying from side to side as she thought about getting her hands on an empty canvas. “ art has been the source of all my pain and pleasure so i don’t mind being without it but i’m not sure how long that feeling will last. ”
bubs didn’t mind the poking and prodding, she didn’t mind them taking her clothes, her toys or even her cell phone but having to give up paddy was enough to make her want to puke from anxiety. some people had emotional therapy dogs, bubs had a stuffed bear that she’d taken with her everywhere since she was three years old. “ i have a question - do you think i’d be able to sneak my bear back from security ? ‘nd if i do, what’s the worst thing that could happen ? ” she asked trying to weigh the pros and cons in her mind.
“Do you normally stare at people this long?” The asset spoke, after several minutes of uncomfortable scrutiny from the other. She was sat off into the nearest corner she could get to in the large hub on the first floor. Bored, she sat there people watching as they moved along the great area. Most were huddle up near the bar, usually with a master or mistress so they could get an alcoholic beverage. She’d love to have a drink, but refused to grovel to get it–so here she sat, being stared at by some stranger.
“ oh even longer. ” she started sarcastically eyes rolling so hard they could have fallen out of her head. “ do you normally try and scare off people for looking in your direction ? or were you planning on spending your entire vacation in that corner, like a sad pathetic baby. ” this was a side of bubs that didn’t often see the light of day but honestly the stranger had pissed her off.
“Your finest red–obviously,” Alexander ordered, glancing over the menu. Eros was supposed to have a revolutionary wait staff and divine selection of food; Alexander was keen to see if their alcohol was a hit, as well. “And the charcuterie plate to start with.”
“The French weren’t fucking good for much, I suppose, except for their food.”
“ oh i don’t know about that, i lived in france with my mom for a few years. they were...well kind of rude sometimes but otherwise not bad ! ” she said with a soft chuckle not even bothering to look at the menu in front of her, not that the waiter even gave her a second glance to ask if she wanted something different.
“You know, darling,” Diana mused, a soft tone in her voice, “you’d make a WONDERFUL model… That curve of your cheek and those eyes…” She hummed, mostly to herself, before glanced slightly at the other person, a smile lingering on her red lips. Nothing made her more pleased than to find something – or someone – so very inspiring to capture on a canvas. She had missed this feeling. The mistress cleaned her brush, the movement so natural to her that it seemed almost ELEGANT. “If you’re interested, maybe we could create something together? Not necessarily right now, but… sometime.“
giggling softly she simply shrugged, “ oh i don’t know about that, models usually have to be somewhat graceful in order to do all of the things they do don’t you think ? ” bubs never really been good at accepting a compliment but art was something she knew better than anything else in this world. “ this is...easy. my mom was a painter so i used to model for her all of the time ! ” she chirped, those were some of her favorite memories sitting on the roof of their trailer while her mother stared up at her trying to grasp the moment before it evaporates. “ oh sure ! that’d be lovely, they took all of my art supplies when i showed up so i just kind of accepted that i probably wouldn’t be able to make anything for a while. ”
Did I just see ARIANA GRANDE walking on the beach? Nevermind, it was just TWENTY THREE-year-old, DEMISEXUAL, TARYN "BUBBLES" STARR I heard the ASSET is quite OPTIMISTIC but also NIEVE. SHE seems to enjoy PET PLAY, but don’t try IMMOBILITY with this one. Here’s hoping they’ll make their offered MISTRESS who looks like LIZ GILLIES very happy!
hello earthlings i’m tink and this is my bb bubs there’s a quick summary of her under the cut but if you’re triggered by things like murder or suicide they are mentioned briefly just so you know ! if you want to know more about my child there’s a timeline of her life with more detail than this on her blog and you can find some hcs about her sex life here. if you wanna plot feel free to hit me up or like this & i’ll come to you !
her birth name is taryn siddah starr but she hatES her name so she goes by bubbles, it was a nickname given to her by her mother when she was only seven and it just sorta stuck
she was born in the us but adopted by a woman in germany where she was raised until she was 10. her mother was a bit of a free spirit she spend most of her childhood traveling from place to place
when she was twelve her mother met a man named barry who she fell madly in love with, but when barry left her mother for a younger woman she poisoned him
her mother was tried and convicted of murder ( although she was recently released after a retrial where she was found not guilty. her mother asked her to testify on her behalf and instead bubs left and now her mommas outta jail and she’s just feeling very weird about the whole thing and so shes sorta hiding from her )
bubbles was sent into foster care where she bounced from family to family until the age of seventeen when she ended up at an artists colony in las vegas
she has a twin sister - the two were separated at birth and adopted by two different families and have yet to be reunited i’m lk debating whether i wanna actually play out this plot or not we’ll see i might send it in as a wc
bubbles takes a stuffed bear named paddington with her everywhere, her mother gave the bear to her as a gift on the day she was officially adopted. he’s her confidant and best friend.
she doesn’t deal with confrontation well, literally she’ll just start crying she haTES being yelled at with a firey passion
she hates meeting new people, like HATES even though she’s a people person and it’s very rare for her to make an enemy, she’d rather spend her day having tea parties with her stuffies than with people
she is actually a 6 year old trapped in an adult’s body, she is childish and innocent but she’s also seen and been through a lot so while most of the time she chooses to be in a child state of mind sometimes she’ll drop bubs and be just taryn
taryn is like the complete 360 of bubs she’s mean and cold and knows that the only person in the world who’s truly ever looked out for her is her.
she’s a painter on the side and as much as she loves art and loves having an outlet to express her feelings she’s not the most confident in her painting ability so there aren’t many people who even know she paints let alone who’ve SEEN her paintings
